and, allowing for all the usual variation problems with pictures/monitors etc the sett and colours appear to be the same.

So perhaps it is a MacMillan tartan after all.. :buttkick:
Nope. There are three MacMillan tartans: Dress (yellow and red) Hunting (predominately green) and Ancient (which looks something akin to Buchanan without the white stripe), and that's it.

Both the Buchanan and the MacMillan tartans are offset, with a green background. This tartan has a "square" sett and a black background.

The so-called "MacMillan" tartan (also marketed as Modern MacMillan) owes more to Buchanan as the white stripe of that clan remains, albeit re-positioned to the center of the sett, bisecting the background.

It would probably be more accurate to describe this tartan as "Black Buchanan" than to call it a "Modern" MacMillan.

The final arbiter of what constitutes MacMillan Tartan is the Chief of the Clan MacMillan who has made it clear that this is not a MacMillan tartan.

Now, if you'll just turn around and grab your ankles... :buttkick:
